Official title
Derma-Stent Novel Abscess Packing Device (Pilot Study)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this research study, a device called the Derma-Stent will be tested. The sponsor of the study, Mar-Med Company, will supply the device. This device is used to drain a cutaneous abscess, which is a skin infection that results in buildup of pus under the skin. Currently, the normal treatment for this abscess is to cut and drain and the wound, and later pack the wound with gauze. Packing is done to prevent the pus to accumulate again. But regular gauze is difficult for patient to remove themselves, so another visit to the doctor is usually necessary. The Derma-Stent device will be tested to see how easily patients can remove this by themselves and if it is less painful and more effective than normal gauze packing.
